1985 BMW E30 318i
 

Man I am EXHAUSTED!!! I was looking for a good beemer(for a small amout of money) for almost a MONTH! what nerves you have to have to do so :faint:

Almost bought one but backed off in the last minute right before I had to pay LOL

Was looking for ETA(2.7) V6, after driving one fell in love with the engine note but couldnt find a good one :( 2,5 is too expensive and 2,0 were in disaster condition or again rare and expensive.

So I bought the car I saw as the first of e30's when started to looking for the car :) Almost fucked the car when drove it the first time cause its lowered infront and oil tank is right in the midle and damn low and when I didnt noticed speed bump across the street so you dont speed there I almost smashed it :oops: gladly the chap had some kind of home made fender on it so no damage only very unpleasant sound :)

Its lowered, some M-tech 1 accessory's as suspention, steering wheel(still too big for my taste), Mtech back spoiler(?) on the trunk. The exhaust is too quiet for my taste :mrgreen: and looks awful, will cut it a bit so it will not be so long :)
Got with the car very good winter tires and some goodies as spareparts :) Never liked those whells that are on the car cause thought they are utterly ugly but they look pretty good in flesh, well, original BMW "web" rims or some "16 are planned :)

Since white in very popular overhere **** I got it in white :P

:P sure sure come Dani :wink:

how did I know that you gonna reply first on this topic? :shock: :D

Congrats mate!! That engine should be quite bullet proof, unless u done something stupid, u shouldn't need to put much money into it.

Congrats on your sweet E30 ;)

the 1.8 is a pretty decent engine.. A good friend of mine had a 1984 TC Baur 318i with only 60k on the clock.. but it wasnt really kept in good condition while it sat in a lot outside for a few years. The convertible top pretty much got destroyed and the engine needed a full tune up.. sadly he didnt have enough money to fix it up and sold it to a BMW collector for a steal.

All in all it's a great car to have some fun in. I hope to pick one of these up in a few years.

Congrats on the Beemer Arman! :D

We all know how you talked about getting one and here it is! I hope that it will give you no problems and only joy and pleasure for many many miles! :wink:

I was beginning to wonder if you ever sleep :P

Nice car Arman! Hope it gives you some pleasure.

novass: 18500+ post require nothing less than 24/7 spamming you know :mrgreen:

LOL :P

bwhahahaha PMSLMAO

LMAO :lol:

LMAO

:D very nice! glad to see things are better and your back!

Welcome back Arman. I don't know if you know that I lost my E30 a few months back:

So seeing yours definitely makes it nostalgic. Your car definitely looks very nice. Actually, in the US a 318i/318iS is more preferable than the 325i that I got. I was actually looking for a good example until I came across the 325i, which ended being too good to past up.

I think the biggest thing with those cars are the Timing Chain. So make sure you have that replace or check to see if it has been replaced. And of course, as with all BMWs make sure you pay close attention to the thermostat, the water pump, and the radiator.

I heard a lot of E30 M3 parts fit for that car :D . Keep us updated!

Congralutions on the purchase!!!

P.s. Alpine White is an awesome color! :) (Okay, I am a bit bias too.)

Congrats Arman, thats a sweet ride you have there! Im not too knowledgable on BMW's so I cant offer any valuable advice. But I can say that it looks fab and I love it in white! Interior looks nice and classy and im sure you will enjoy been a BMW driver. :D

great looking 318 arman :D Nice to see you back as well :D

good luck with it :D

Finally :wink: My congratulations fella! What mods will be first ? :D
Hope i'll get one next season too
